If you want one separately cookable pizza and have only a microwave, Chicago Town’s 148g Deep Dish Four Cheese is a relevant format: the brand describes its Deep Dish range as pizza for one and provides microwave instructions for that flavour. A standard pizza offers a different-sized meal, but check its serving label and cooking method first; the Dr. Oetker Ristorante Mozzarella 335g and Funghi 365g pizzas listed by Sainsbury’s are each labelled as two servings and have oven instructions.
A small pizza with microwave instructions may suit a quick meal between outings. Chicago Town gives its 148g Deep Dish Four Cheese pizza a microwave method, though the instructions apply to that product rather than every frozen pizza.
A standard thin pizza may suit someone who wants a larger meal or plans to divide it. Sainsbury’s labels the Dr. Oetker Ristorante Mozzarella 335g and Funghi 365g pizzas as two servings per pack, so neither is automatically a labelled single portion.
Individually cookable pizzas can be useful when one person is eating on some days and more people on others. Tesco lists Chicago Town Deep Dish Four Cheese as a pack of two 148g pizzas; the pack still needs freezer space.
Start with the portion you intend to eat and the equipment available where you are staying, then check the exact pack for dietary information.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Portion size | Check the pack’s serving count and whether it contains one pizza or separately cookable units. Sainsbury’s labels the Ristorante Mozzarella 335g and Funghi 365g pizzas as two servings each. | I want a defined single pizza, or I’m comfortable eating a larger pizza or dividing it. |
| Cooking method | Read the instructions for the exact flavour and size. Chicago Town gives Deep Dish Four Cheese 148g a microwave method of 3 minutes at 800W or 900W, followed by a 1-minute stand; the cited Ristorante pizzas have oven instructions. | Will I have a microwave, an oven, or both at the holiday accommodation? How much preparation time suits this meal? |
| Ingredients and nutrition | Check the current ingredients, allergen declaration and nutrition for the amount you will eat. Sainsbury’s lists 1.6g salt per half Mozzarella pizza and 1.8g per half Funghi pizza. | I need to check whether this particular flavour meets my ingredient requirements and compare figures for my planned portion, not just the labelled half pizza. |
| Freezer space | Check the number of pizzas in the pack and its storage instructions. Tesco lists the Chicago Town Deep Dish Four Cheese pizzas as two individual 148g units. | If I’m staying somewhere with a small freezer, can I store the rest of a multipack? |
Sainsbury’s labels the Dr. Oetker Ristorante Mozzarella 335g and Funghi 365g pizzas as two servings each. Eating the whole pizza means consuming twice the amounts shown for half a pizza on those nutrition panels.
Read the serving statement alongside the nutrition table. If you want a separately cookable unit, consider an individual format instead.
Chicago Town provides microwave instructions for Deep Dish Four Cheese 148g, while the cited Ristorante Mozzarella and Funghi pizzas provide oven instructions. The difference matters if your holiday kitchen lacks an oven.
Check the cooking instructions for the exact product before buying; do not apply another flavour’s or range’s method.
A flavour name does not give the full ingredient, allergen or nutrition information. Salt figures also need to be read against the amount you expect to eat, rather than an assumed single serving.
Check the current pack’s ingredients, allergen declaration and nutrition table, particularly when an ingredient must be avoided.
These examples show different pizza formats; a brand name alone does not establish the portion size or cooking method of every product it makes.
Chicago Town describes its Deep Dish range as pizza for one. The cited Four Cheese pizza is a 148g individual unit.
The Mozzarella 335g and Funghi 365g pizzas listed by Sainsbury’s are vegetarian oven-pizza options.
Tesco and Sainsbury’s list a Goodfella’s Stonebaked Thin Margherita pizza at 334g, a standard thin format rather than a small individual unit.
Tesco Groceries lists own-label stonebaked pizzas as well as mini-pizza formats and Chicago Town Deep Dish multipacks.
Sainsbury’s frozen-pizza category lists own-label pizzas alongside Dr. Oetker, Goodfella’s and Chicago Town products.
These are standard-sized Joybuy pizzas to consider if a larger solo meal or dividing a pizza suits you. They are not substitutes for the separately cookable 148g Deep Dish format discussed above.

At 380g, this is a larger pizza to consider for sharing or a larger solo meal, rather than a defined individual unit. Check its serving and cooking instructions on the pack; the microwave directions for Chicago Town Deep Dish Four Cheese do not establish a method for this pizza.
Not always: Sainsbury’s states that the Dr. Oetker Ristorante Mozzarella 335g and Funghi 365g pizzas each contain two servings. You can decide to eat a different amount, but read the nutrition panel for the portion you actually plan to have.
Some can. Chicago Town’s instructions for its 148g Deep Dish Four Cheese pizza specify 3 minutes at 800W or 900W, followed by a 1-minute stand, and say not to microwave more than one at once. Follow the instructions for your exact pizza rather than assuming the same method works for another product.
Follow the exact pack’s instructions on whether to cook from frozen or defrost first. The cooking method and preparation steps can differ between pizzas, so check them before starting.
Read the current pack’s ingredients and allergen declaration, including any precautionary statement, for the exact pizza you are buying. A flavour name or an older listing is not a substitute for that information.
Compare figures on the same basis, such as per 100g or for the amount you intend to eat. Sainsbury’s lists 1.6g salt per half Dr. Oetker Ristorante Mozzarella 335g pizza and 1.8g per half Funghi 365g pizza; those half-pizza figures do not describe eating the entire pizza.
